Guard Dog Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 This is a surprise.

It sounds like the election had a really low turnout with some factions asking their folks to boycott. I know a lot of Puerto Ricans have been moving to the US for work and because their economy is a mess.

Malcador Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Well according to all 3 Abrahamic religions we all going to hell, depends who you ask What I found most funny is that even people who never heard about these religions going to hell. Pretty bad plan to put billions of people who doesn't got chance to get converted if you ask me xD Vaguely recall that not being true in Catholic dogma. Invincible ignorance I believe it is called.

Guard Dog Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Just my own observation but Europe is like this really big family where most of the members really don't like each other. And the EU us like Christmas dinner at grandma's house. Everyone is just trying to fake a smile and get along for grandma's sake. Except the Brits.

Guard Dog Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Do you know Feuerbach? Or Freud, for that matter? Yes and yes. Feuerbach had an interesting notion that man created God rather than than the reverse. That people see good in themselves and project it outwardly in our minds as coming from a benevolent supreme being. Not a theory I'd buy into myself.

Gorgon Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 My position is untenable if his use of the word "condemned" is taken in a literal way. Maybe Sanders believes he will use the awesome political power of the White House Office of Management and Budget to round up all non believers and burn them at the stake. Or maybe he's never heard of the EEOC. I remember Enoch once or twice criticizing me for automatically assuming that a public figure's words should be construed in the worst conceivable way. Perhaps there is a bit of that going on here. You are correct, he did let the conversation end with ambiguity over the comment. But I look at it this way. This is a man applying for a job that has nothing to do with religion who was told during the interview process that his religious convictions disqualify him. Hurlshot pointed out how this will only feed the growing Christian persecution complex. And he's right. But it also bears keeping in mind that complex didn't just spring up from thin air. For the record, he's wrong. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam do all stem from the same beginning. Abraham. He had to eat his pride for two seconds and he couldn't do it.

HA! Good Fun! Correct me if I'm wrong but islamicphobia is about a religion correct? Because correct me if I'm wrong, but Bernie used Isla islamicphobia as the reason for outrage, so since religion can be the cause of outrage, but religion can't be the answer or reason to said outrage towards a religion?I'd agree with ya if Bernie didn't repeatedly say islamicphobia as the reason what he wrote was wrong. Also would this be a example of discrimination of religion in work place?
